Shopaholic
What is a shopaholic? According to Wikipedia it is a slang term for oniomania, or compulsive shopping. This person can’t control himself from shopping. Well, who doesn’t want to shop. Bet everyone of us has a tendency of being one especially when you’re well-off. My favorite place in a department store is the women’s shoes section and the kids’ apparels section.
I remember when I met a shopaholic when I was a Sales Clerk in Sta. Lucia Department Store (children’s department) years back. I kept on asking myself what she’s doing with those apparels? Aren’t her cabinets full yet? Just can’t believe that there’s such a person as shopaholic.

Enchanted Kingdom: Magicalympics
It’s been four long years since I last visited Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, 
Laguna. On May 10, 2009, once again I had the chance to spend the day at EK. How? I was one of the Bloggers who were invited to visit and experience the magical place. Thanks to Raredog who requested Azrael to send me the invite.
We were there to experience the “Pasyal Pinoy Promo” and the “Magicalympics” of EK. We had this team building with 5 teams competing with 10 members each. It is similar to Amazing Race where we have to finish a task for the next pit stop. It was so tiring but really exciting, especially when I had to ride on those thrilling rides! My group got the 2nd place. Yipee!!!
2nd placer... Purple team
We also watched the summer special musical show entitled “Enchante’ Under the Sea”. It’s their production which I found very entertaining. The performers were great and the production is amazing. And of course the day won’t be complete without the fireworks display. Not to mention the nice and accommodating peeps of EK.
Enchante' Under the Sea Production
I brought along my 5-year-old son (it’s Mother’s Day) and her yaya (who’s also a mother) as my treat to them. My son was so happy and keeps on saying we have to go back to EK. J I’ll surely recommend this “magicalympics” to my company for our next team building activity. Thanks and more power to the management of Enchanted Kingdom.

NEW OFFICE POLICY
DUE TO BUDGET CUTS, THIS IS OUR NEW CUBICLE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009
NEW OFFICE POLICY
Dress Code:
1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.
2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.
3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.
4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor’s statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.
Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have
non-employees attend the funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the ‘Chronic Offenders’ category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company’s mental health policy.
Lunch Break:
* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.
* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.
* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that’s all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
The Management
Philippine Airlines
Once upon a time in China , there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Chan with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella. The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.
Years passed, and it was time to get them married. So, the parents found them the most suitable “leng chais”(handsome guys). They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.
As “concerned” parents, Mr. & Mrs. Chan were curious about their daughters’ first-night experience. So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Chan told them, “Your father & I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands’ curiosity… you all must use a code to describe your experiences” .
So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed. Mr. & Mrs . Chan got the first letter. It was from Elaine. They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. “Ah! Here it is!!!!” exclaimed Mr. Chan. The motto for Standard chartered was… “BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY.” Mr. & Mrs. Chan were happy.
A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple, “NESCAFE”. So again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. “Ah! here it is… NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP. Mr. and Mrs. Chan jumped for joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. 2 months passed. There was still no letter from Ella. The Chans became worried. Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Chan managed to figure it out. The code was “PHILIPPINE AIRLINES”.
Mr. Chan, confused on why she chose Philippine Airlines, rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. …… “Ah! Here it is!!!” Mrs. Chan grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish …THUMP!!! … she fell off her chair… The Airline’s motto was… “7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP.”
